I foresee the day when we have to pay for everything. :/ One thing I hate about digital content is that sometimes you don;t know what you are buying. More stores should have preview services and make music cheaper...cause let's face it...sometimes you blindly buy an album and half of the music on it is crap. Also what about the legitimate users who use torrenting services to move huge files? I guess they could always move to another torrenting agency, but if the law can be applied to one...then who says the others aren't at risk?

I see your point but itunes still isn't available in many countries, neither is Amazon :/ Also some European countries don't get to see movies until maybe a month after release in North American or England.

blocking thepiratbay means the awakening of all hackers against the government and corporations... the governments are like crazy trying to close down the internet to start the new world order.. we must stop them!

They do realize that shutting down The Pirate Bay is just going to cause all hell to break loose right? Sure you stopped the "evil guys" running it, but all their users are going to outrage.

Not only that, good job you shut down The Pirate Bay, those servers are backed up and can/will just be ported to a new name and address within a day....

It's only greedy corporations throwing a fit. They shut all these pirates down and then they will find some other excuse to complain about...."oh we can't provide discs because it costs too much!" or "oh you have to buy the movie in 3 parts now, we can't afford to sell it whole" all meanwhile their CEO's sit in a mansion on a mountain in front of a beach while another 3.2 million dollar paycheck comes in for the month.
